Such as sales records, purchase orders, inventory levels, cash flow accounts receivable and payable, etc. This information are crucial for future forecasting which is possible only by studying and analyzing the past and present results of the organization.

This information is regularly needed in high volume and is prepared by a group of specialists working in the organization, including various departments and sections.An internal records system enables an organization to be knowledgeable about the performance and issues they must address to improve it.
